From Balance sheet to Ambitions: My path to learning Investment Banking.

Hi, I’m Zohaib Aziz. I spent 2 years as an accountant in Oil and Gas in Dubai, handling financial statements and daily accounting tasks. It was a great learning experience, but I realized I wanted more challenges and faster growth.

That’s why I joined WSO to learn new skills, explore investment banking, and connect with people who are as ambitious as I am. Every day feels like a step toward something bigger, and I’m excited about the journey ahead.

I’m happy to share my experience and answer questions for anyone interested.
